OK, OK, it’s the Dallas audition show.
But before we get to the auditions, let’s give you a little reenactment of guest judge Joe Jonas who appeared on the second half of the show (well, make that the last third of the show cause the AI folks had enough sense to capitalize on Neil Patrick Harris – guest judge No. 1- for about 40 minutes).
First up, Toddrick Hall from Arlington. What …

I had wondered if the judges actually knew all the “back stories” prior to making their assessments. Tonight’s show answered that question – Yes.
So, does it make it fair to know one contestent was raised in the gang-infested streets of Compton; or that another had a life’s journey through foster homes?
Don’t know. Has to tug on their emotions and maybe sometimes for the contestents it tugs in the wrong direction. …

OMG, seems like the General (Larry Platt) has been caught with his own pants on the ground.
The Senior Citizen who made such a splash at the Atlanta auditions seemingly has been caught stealing the song’s concept from the Green Brothers.
Here, you listen to the song from YouTube and judge for yourself. The Green Boys, in their 70s produced this song in 1996.

Audition Day 4 from Orlando
Having spent two tours of duty in the Sunshine State (actually just worked for two different newspapers there 10 years apart) I have some insight into what to expect tonight.
And the show didn’t disappoint,
Talent was all over the map and although 10,000 showed up for the audition, there wasn’t that much of it.
Kristin Chenoweth was the guest judge and she only lasted one day cause she …

OK, on Tuesday night, while I was looking around for General Larry and some “Pants On The Ground”, I discovered a horrific rendition of Tiny Tim’s “Tiptoe Through The Tulips” and not much else during the hour-long Chicago auditions.
All I could think of was that Wednesday night’s auditions will be from Orlando and that is the spot that Randy Jackson termed as “really strange.”
Some facts along the way to some …

Come on, we just have to be at least an inch closer to Armeggedon.
When General (he claims he was a general in the civil rights movement) Larry Platt’s life intersects with Brett Favre then you just know something is up with the universe.
The good General got his 15 minutes of fame last Wednesday night during AI’s auditions from Atlanta with his rendition of his ditty: “Pants On The Ground.”
Favre, the Minnetoa Vikings quarterback, …

Here, go to mjsbigblog at the following link and check out Adam Lambert’s new video from his song “Whataya Want From Me.”
Idol Chatter gives Lambert two thumbs for this one. The video tells a story, he doesn’t scream in the song, his voice is controlled and it exposes his boundless talent as a singer.
This is Adam the way he should be.
